NotesThe Memory of Trees
by Mick RooneyCan one boy be guided by knowledge alone on a path of discovery?
‘The Memory of Trees’ is the story of Carlos, a shepherd boy, who travels from his beautiful home of Cyprus, following in the footsteps of Saint Paul, into the Middle East and along the road to Damascus. Carlos is a young island boy, bright, thoughtful and passionate, brought up on the traditions of his village elders. Experiencing unbearable loss and exile, he sets out on a journey of knowledge and adventure, embracing the spiritual wisdom of the trees and a quest to explore the path his mysterious uncle once took into the Middle East.
This is a parable about listening to the voices in our hearts, seeking our truths, no matter how lost we are. It is about daring to allow ourselves to be guided along a path filled with pain, loss, love and passion and the inevitable choices we must all face.

Notes"I absolutely love this book. Definitely no. 1 on my list of books I read. It reminded me a bit of Paulo Coelho’s books and it had the same effect on me. I was grasped by it and it kept me thinking about the story for a long time after I finished reading the book. It is beautifully written and very visual, I felt like watching Carlos from the side with every step he took on his path to wisdom."

Notes"If your hands could reach out across the river, what would you grasp, hold firmly, and claim to be yours?
You would grasp the sap which seeps from the trees, bathe in it, believing that this would keep you young forever.
You would grasp the leaves of the trees and shake from them their whispers, and know every hidden secret in the world.
You would seize the colour and fragrance from all that lives and grows on the other side of the river and make it yours.
You would grasp the nettles growing by the shore of the river, and let them sting you, and in that moment, your heart would awaken in shame and you would know all the pain in the world.
You would look upon the other side of the river and see all that you had taken.
You would see the greyness, dryness and sterility, and in the final moments of your earthly life, you would reach across and return everything you had taken."The Memory of Trees - Mick Rooney (via curiouser-nd-curiouser)
